11 pending office actions • 1 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 11 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Visionox Technology Inc. manages a company patent portfolio in the Communications technology area. The portfolio includes 11 pending office actions. These actions are handled by 10 distinct examiners, all of whom are located within 1 distinct art unit. DULKA, JOHN P is the busiest examiner with 2 pending actions. The presence of 11 pending office actions suggests a steady volume of ongoing prosecution within the communications sector.
The fact that 11 pending office actions and 10 distinct examiners are all concentrated in 1 distinct art unit is notable. This indicates a very high degree of technical focus for the company's communications filings. Practitioners can expect a consistent art unit environment even as they interact with 10 distinct examiners. Monitoring the 2 pending actions with the busiest examiner is essential for maintaining consistency within this single art unit. This structure requires a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of the 1 distinct art unit while managing the varied styles of the 10 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| §102 only | 3 (27%) |
